  • Inflatable device pressure gauge apparatuses and methods
    Patent number: 11112327
    Abstract: Inflatable device pressure gauge apparatus and methods are described. According to one aspect, an inflatable device pressure gauge apparatus includes a housing, an attachment mechanism configured to attach the pressure gauge apparatus to an inflatable device which comprises an air chamber which is configured to be inflated to an increased pressure above atmospheric pressure during use of the inflatable device, a pressure sensor coupled with the housing and configured to sense pressurized air from the air chamber of the inflatable device and to output a signal corresponding to an air pressure within the air chamber, a processor configured to process the signal from the pressure sensor and to control generation of a user perceptible emission regarding the air pressure of the air chamber as a result of the processing of the signal, and a power source coupled with the housing and configured to provide electrical energy to the processor.
